We're going to show you how to take a text and work with students to turn it into an animated video. Why? Because when you take a text and make lots of research-based creative decisions about how it will look and sound in a video, it forces you to slow down and figure out stories very thoughtfully, sometimes creating new interpretations.

Plus, it’s tactile and active and will inspire your students in fun new ways. And you’ll get some STUFF that’s fun to showcase for your school. Finally, because new tech skills are COOL!
